<P>The Standard C++ Library exception classes</P>
<A NAME="sec3"><H3>Description</H3></A>
<P>The Standard C++ Library defines a set of classes intended to be thrown as exceptions. Objects of these classes, and classes derived from these classes, are the only exceptions that can be thrown by the Library. In contrast, client code can throw not only objects of the exception classes, but objects of any type, including native types. The description of each exception class in this entry lists the classes and functions that typically throw it, but exceptions may be thrown from other places as well. </P>
<P>The class <B><I><A HREF="exception.html">exception</A></I></B> serves as a base class to all other Standard <B><I>exception</I></B> classes. The Library has three categories of <B><I>exception</I></B> classes: </P>

<P>A <B><I><A HREF="logic-error.html">logic_error</A></I></B> is thrown when the condition causing the error could have been detected by the client before calling the failing code. A <B><I><A HREF="runtime-error.html">runtime_error</A></I></B> is thrown when the error results from a condition that the client could not have tested before calling the failing code.</P>
<P>The class <B><I><A HREF="exception.html">exception</A></I></B> is declared in the header <SAMP>&lt;exception&gt;</SAMP>. Exception classes derived from <B><I><A HREF="logic-error.html">logic_error</A></I></B> and <B><I><A HREF="runtime-error.html">runtime_error</A></I></B> are defined in the <SAMP>&lt;stdexcept&gt;</SAMP> header.
